Aaron Rodgers’ Wrist Injury Likely Sidelines Him for Soldier Field Game
Aaron Rodgers’ recent wrist injury raises questions about his participation in future games, particularly against the Bears at Soldier Field. The injury occurred during the game where the Steelers defeated the Bengals 34-12. Reports indicate that Rodgers has sustained a “slight break” in his non-throwing wrist.
Impact of the Injury on Future Games
Although there remains a possibility for his return later in the season, the fracture complicates his chances of being available for the upcoming game on November 23 against the Bears. If Rodgers is unable to play, the Bears will face backup quarterback Mason Rudolph, who has seen action in three games this year and has not previously competed against the Bears.
Rodgers’ History Against the Bears
At 41 years old, Rodgers has not played in Chicago since 2022. His track record against the Bears is impressive; he holds a 25-5 win-loss record as the Packers’ quarterback. One of his memorable moments was during a 2021 game at Soldier Field when he famously stated, “I own you” to the crowd.
Recent Career Developments
This season, Rodgers transferred from the Packers to the Jets but struggled due to a torn Achilles tendon. Following a disappointing season, the Jets announced his release in February. In looking for new opportunities, he expressed an interest in the Steelers, partly because of their scheduled road game against the Bears this season.

As the Bears lead their division with a 7-3 record, they are looking to maintain their momentum regardless of Rodgers’ status. Fans will await further updates on the quarterback’s injury to see if he can return to the field during this critical part of the season.
